Mike Melton's 2025 Silverado 2500HD has 10,656 miles and still shows nearly new Nitto Trail Graps tires despite towing 26,000 pounds twice a week. He credits proper rotation and no wheel spin, estimating these tires could hit 70,000 miles under heavy towing if treated right.
This is my 2025 Denali. So yeah, it is a 2500 with a Duramax in it. A lot of guys say, man, I don't get no miles out of my Nitto Trail Graps. Let me show you this. All right, so I bought this truck, of course, brand new. Right now it's got, what, 10,656 on it. So when I bought this truck, it only had about 130-something miles on it, whatever it was, because of course it's a brand new truck. And you can see these are the rears They still look brand new. All right, here's the fronts. They still look brand new. Now I haul this 26,000-pound trailer twice a week. You see all these tires on it, right? You see all those tires on it. So if you got the Nitto Trog-Raps on there and you said you ain't getting but 20,000 miles, 30,000 miles, whatever it may be, I'm gonna tell you something. You either burning the heck up out of these tires or you're not rotating them right. Now, what I mean burning them up, that means you sitting there spinning your damn tires. Now, I don't spin my tires. I take care of my stuff. And that's why you see it's already got 10,000, almost 11,000 miles on it, and these things are still almost brand new. I'll probably get 70,000 miles even with pulling that big old trailer.
